Safety: Our guide was excellent, providing great care and showing us beautiful places. Views from the boat: We got to see the entire island, it was stunning. I'll definitely book again. Very impressed. They even took underwater photos for us. Loved it.

great staff who will take care of you and do their best to do so. beautiful day and the ride there is rocky for most people, so please take some tablets to help with seasickness, but it is a lovely ride there. i had an amazing time. you get so much time to snorkel and explore on your own.

Lovely crew! I love snorkelling and this is one of the tours where you actually get to snorkel most of the time!! They took us to great spots. We had to change the itinerary/destinations slightly as the weather was bad (as should be expected this time of year) but the locations were great. I lost count how many turtles we spotted and we also saw black tip reef sharks, apart from lots of fish. Transport to and from hotel and lunch/snacks included. Recommend!

The excursion was amazing, with beautiful views and excellent guides! The lunch was delicious, and we had plenty of time to snorkel and see lots of marine life. Highly recommend! Water shoes are only needed on the beach, but we managed just fine without them, walking around in flip-flops. The breakfast was disappointing, though, so I’d recommend bringing some extra food of your own.

All of us enjoyed the session; it was truly worth our money. They took great care of us right from the beginning. There was light breakfast prepared while waiting to board the ship. Journey from the samui pier to koh tao pier took quite awhile, then we had to change to a smaller boat that brought us to the snorkeling area. Our guide, Kik, together with her male colleague, took great care of my kids. If you are unable to swim, they have a floatie which the guide will help push around so that you can see the fish. If you can swim on your own, you are free to roam around near the boat. There are lots of fishes that you can see, and it is very beautiful. After the first session, we headed to another island for lunch and you are free to snorkel again by the beachside if you want, or you can hike up to the viewpoint. We chose snorkeling instead. And yes, we definitely enjoyed it so much! Thank u guys!

our guides, mikey, Dennis, mr arm & captain jack sparrow were incredible, especially mikey, he was so happy, funny and nothing was to much for him, he also played music. The boat trip itself was very bumpy but me & my family enjoyed that. We didnt see much while snorkeling at koh tao which was slightly disappointing but cant be helped. koh nangyuan was the most beautiful place we have ever seen, my teenagers walked to the viewpoint which they loved. & the water there where you can snorkel was absolutely insane, so clear & warm. We were given toast & hot/cold drinks before we left, then had lunch on a beach at koh tao which was lovely. There was also water/diet coke & Pepsi on board the boat which you could help yourself too. Would recommend this trip.

This was really good. I was skeptical because there are a lot of companies doing these type of tours, and the 1 hour boat ride made me skeptical. However, it was truly fantastic and unique. the guides were great and my wife & kids had a fantastic time!!! This company takes your to one of the private islands as well which was truly breathtaking..

Really great experience, both the organiser and boat captain were very proactive and take a lot of care in this service. We had really choppy weather on the day and the team picked us up and took us to another location where the water was much calmer. The captain was super sweet and offered us water and pineapples too. A great experience especially if you’re a first time snorkeller like us!
